How to QUICK CAST, MACRO/SCRIPT in DEADLOCK | Best & Easiest Guide
Gaming
Introduction
Welcome to this comprehensive guide on how to efficiently use quick casting, macros, and scripts in Deadlock. In this article, you will learn step-by-step how to set up your abilities and items for maximum effectiveness, allowing you to unleash devastating burst damage with just one button. We’ll cover everything from the default keybinds to customizing your playstyle.
Getting Started with Defaults
First, we will reset our keybinds to the default settings to make sure you can follow along easily. By default, items are bound from Z to V and abilities from 1 to 4. However, these cannot be directly bound in the menu for use with console commands, so we will need to unbind them.
- Reset your binds: Go to the settings and reset your defaults. Do this twice for good measure.
- Unbind items and abilities: Remove existing bindings for items (Z-V) and abilities (1-4) to free them up for console commands.
Using Console Commands for Quick Casts
To set up quick casts for your abilities and items, you must access the console in Deadlock.
Enable the console:
- Right-click on Deadlock in your Steam library.
- Select Properties and add
-console
and-dev
to the launch options. Restart the game.
Binding the commands: The basic syntax for binding quick casts is:
bind [key] [command]
For example, to bind Z to Item 1:
bind Z item1
Quick Casting Abilities and Items
Now, let's assign quick cast commands for your items and abilities.
Bind Ability One: Replace "1" with the key you prefer if needed.
bind 1 ability1
Bind Items: For example, to bind Z for Item 1:
bind Z item1
Combining Commands
You have the power to combine your active commands for more complex maneuvers:
- Binding All Actives: To activate all items at once, you can bind a key (e.g., E):
bind E "item1; item2; item3; item4"
Custom Quick Scope Example
For users who play Vindicta, a useful command would be to create a quick scope:
bind 4 "attack; attack2"
This enables quick scopes with just a press of the corresponding key.
Reset Commands
If you ever make a mistake with your bindings:
- Use the command:
unbindall
- To restore to default:
bind defaults
